mushroom

A mushroom is the conspicuous umbrella-shaped fruiting body (sporophore) of certain fungi
A mushroom is the conspicuous umbrella-shaped fruiting body (sporophore) of certain fungi, typically of the order Agaricales in the phylum Basidiomycota but also of some other groups.
Popularly, the term mushroom is used to identify the edible sporophores; the term toadstool is often reserved for inedible or poisonous sporophores. There is, however, no scientific distinction between the two names.
In a very restricted sense, mushroom indicates the common edible fungus of fields and meadows (Agaricus campestris). A very closely related species, A. bisporus, is the mushroom grown commercially and seen in markets

    Recipe Mustard Kale, Mushrooms & Crispy Bacon with Dijon Mustard Sauce

    I discovered mustard kale at Ocado, the on-line supermarket I use. Never having tried it before I was intrigued. I’m not a particular fan of kale but I liked the slightly bitter flavour of this one. It did take a lot of cooking though, as the leaves are quite fibrous. You could substitute...

    Recipe The Lady’s Relish

    If you want to call this recipe 'spiced anchovy and mushroom butter’ feel free.
